Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM74700-Q1
I am designing a redundant power supply in a vehicle, and the LM74610 smart diode controller looks like a good part to use.
My question for TI: Is it a bad idea to implement LM74610 circuits (as shown in the example layout in the datasheet) for diode-ORing on separate PCBs? In other words, I am thinking of designing two-terminal boards that would function as ultra-low forward voltage diodes.
I can already see the potential for oscillation due to wire impedances.
For reference, I am looking to connect a lithium-ion battery (10-14V), a voltage regulator (12v) and a supercapacitor (12v) to a single output with three ideal diodes. Each "smart diode" is expected to pass a worst-case maximum of 10A.
